110.1 proof smells like vanilla and caramel. Take a sip and you’re punched in the kisser with spicy French Oak. Like Kool-Aid Man breaking through a wall. Oh Yeah! The French Oak dissipates smoothly with a nice tongue tingle and finishes on the back end with a nice lingering apricot flavor. Dear Maker’s Mark, Put a cork in it! For once! Please! A pretty little cask strenght label needs a pretty little bottle with a cork.
